Nutrient-Dense Ingredients

Shrimp’s Nutritional Goodness

Shrimp, a key ingredient in our Vietnamese Spring Rolls, is a lean source of protein. It also provides essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and selenium. These nutrients support brain health, strengthen bones, and promote immune function.

Rice Noodles’ Wholesome Base

Rice noodles, the foundation of our Spring Rolls, are gluten-free and low in fat. They provide carbohydrates for energy and contain small amounts of fiber, iron, and B vitamins, contributing to overall nutritional balance.

Abundant Vitamins in Carrots and Cucumbers

Carrots and cucumbers, crisp and refreshing additions to our Spring Rolls, are rich in vitamins and minerals. Carrots are known for their high beta-carotene content, which the body converts into vitamin A. Cucumbers are a hydrating vegetable, containing vitamins K and C, as well as antioxidants that support skin health and hydration.

Fiber-Rich Delight 

Rice noodles and the fresh vegetables in our Spring Rolls provide dietary fiber, aiding in digestion and promoting a healthy gut. Fiber adds bulk to the diet, helping to maintain a feeling of fullness and supporting regular bowel movements.

Low-Calorie and Light

Fresh Vietnamese Spring Rolls are a great choice for those watching their calorie intake. The combination of lean protein from shrimp, fiber from vegetables, and light rice noodles makes these rolls satisfying while being lower in calories compared to other fried or heavy dishes.

Freshness and Flavorful Satisfaction

Our Fresh Vietnamese Shrimp Spring Rolls offer a burst of flavors and textures. The succulent shrimp, crunchy vegetables, and delicate rice noodles are wrapped in rice paper, creating a light and refreshing dish. This culinary delight allows you to savor the freshness and flavors while incorporating healthful ingredients.
